Dear Cowboy Community,

Thank you to National Honor Society, especially President Aubrey Welfelt and Sponsor Mrs. Danos, for hosting the induction ceremony for our 15 new members. Congratulations to our inductees, who have demonstrated tremendous scholastic abilities, leadership, service, and high character.

I also want to recognize Mrs. Powers' work in organizing last week's CMAS assessment and this past week's P/SAT assessment. The amount of work and coordination that goes into ensuring a smooth experience for students is incredible.

SpringFest is just around the corner. On Tuesday, April 28th, GHS will have an altered schedule.

Good luck to GHS Track and Field tomorrow in Coal Ridge, to JV Baseball in Monte Vista, and to Varsity Baseball in Delta this weekend. Golf has three upcoming tournaments next week, with two in Grand Junction and one in Salida.
